Chapter 110: Memories
"You two will come back quickly after going to the grave!" Gao Qingzhen shouted to the father and son who were about to leave on their bicycles.
"Remember, don't rush anymore, I have a watch in my hand, remember the time!" my father said a few words, then stepped on the old-fashioned bicycle with a horizontal bar and rode slowly, while Jiang Yizhou jumped on the back seat at the right time and waved goodbye to his mother.
They just finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets, there are only a few rooms in total, and they finished pasting it quickly, and they ate some noodles at noon, padding their stomachs, and eating at night, so they had to keep their stomachs.
There are small snowflakes floating in the sky, and there was a sudden snow last night, accumulating about ten centimeters of snow, and it has been snowing all the time today, but the snow is not big, and it falls on the body, and it melts quickly, except for wetting the coat.
Jiang Yizhou likes this atmosphere very much, in the future, snow is becoming less and less common, in his previous life, when he was a child, he could often encounter snowy weather in winter, and when he grew up, a snow was rare to encounter several times throughout the winter, and the heavy snow as thick as a quilt was even rarer, mostly a small snow without a shadow in a day or two.
Riding a bicycle all the way, I soon arrived at a grocery store next to the street in the countryside, which sold all kinds of gadgets, and was full of firecrackers and paper money during the New Year.
Jiang Yizhou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he remembered the old man who opened a grocery store in his former hometown not far from here in his previous life, and the grocery store was opened in a small house in the village, and only the old man ran it.
When he was a child, he didn't know too much truth, there was that kind of inflatable lighter at that time, he and his friends thought it was very interesting, so he bought a lighter, and then inflated it after deflating, every time he changed a person, he changed it dozens of times, the old man was dizzy, and he couldn't tell what was going on, but he felt that there were so many people who charged the lighter.
Later, Jiang Yizhou slowly grew up and felt very sorry for the old man and teased him like this, but when he returned to his hometown on a whim, he went to the old man to apologize, but found that the old man had already passed away.
Although this is just a matter of inflating the lighter dozens of times, the impact on Jiang Yizhou is unforgettable, and he can still remember the sad and distressed face of the old man when he looks back now.
Maybe it's because he doesn't have much understanding of grief and death, although his grandparents were still lying in bed a few days ago, smiling and giving him delicious food, and when he came back from school one day, he was told by his parents that he was dead, and then he wore linen and filial piety.
When he was a child, he looked blankly at the table of banquets in the courtyard, except for the children of his parents and other grandparents crying and sad, other people seemed to be like rushing to the market, rare to get together, happy to eat, and the same as the banquet of happy events, except that the color of the whole place is a little different.
At that time, he thought, it turns out that this is death! There is no fear, looking at the grandfather/grandmother lying in the house waiting to enter the coffin, there is no difference from falling asleep, except for being taken out of the pocket by Erniang, happily taking out some money and not reacting.
Only when the old man's death made him realize that death was a complete loss, and he didn't even have the qualifications to say sorry to him, Jiang Yizhou, who realized this, was a little glad that he didn't have the qualifications to disappoint his parents when he was old, because in his previous life, he had passed away before he had disappointed his gray-haired parents.
As for grief, there is also a big brother who can support his parents, the eldest brother is definitely an excellent person, filial to his parents, a happy family, and his sister-in-law is also docile, he does everything better than himself.
"Son, what's wrong with you? I've bought everything, aren't you going to make a phone call?" Jiang Maoqiang carried a large plate of firecrackers, a few small firecrackers, and a dozen red bags of paper money, walked to the bicycle after settling the account, and asked very strangely.
The big plate of firecrackers is for a boat grandfather, his grandparents are not in good health, they have suffered too many sins in the past, and the small firecrackers are for some other close and no one to pay tribute to the elders.
What did this kid think of, and he burst into tears?
Waking up from his past memories, Jiang Yizhou replied hesitantly, "I just thought of something, I'm going to call! Wait for my dad in a while!" Then he panicked to find a public telephone, and finally found a shop in the center of the street that provided telephone service.
He asked about the price, and dialed Song Ru is home phone number, there may be staff on duty in the company now, but no one should know as much as Song Ru is , and the United States also has to report to her.
After a few beeps on the phone, the other side of the phone was connected, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
A kind aunt's voice came, Jiang Yizhou blinked violently, shook his head, and greeted in a good voice, "Hello Auntie, I wish you a happy New Year, I am looking for Song Rushi, I am her colleague, my name is Jiang Yizhou!"
Mother Song was happy at first, and then a little worried, she didn't shy away from her at all, she was generous, not like it had anything to do with Ru Shi, and said into the microphone, "Okay, I also wish you a happy New Year, I'll call Ru Shi over immediately, you wait!"
Mother Song put down the microphone, walked to her daughter's room, and knocked on the door, "If so, someone who said it was your colleague called you and asked Jiang Yizhou to come!"
Song Ru grabbed her hair, it's really annoying, throwing everything to herself, this housekeeper is not good!
"I'll go out immediately!" Song Ru put down the pen in his hand, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the room, regardless of his mother's eyes, took the microphone, "Hey, Yizhou, it's me!"
"First of all, I wish you a happy new year, if you are sister, how is the company?" Jiang Yizhou asked with a big grin.
"A bunch of things waiting for you to come back and deal with them! I can't contact you to put me back, don't let me do anything when the time comes!" Song Ru couldn't say much, this was a long-distance call, and he couldn't make it clear on the phone, so he could only hope that Jiang Yizhou would come back quickly.
"Is that okay?" Jiang Yizhou relieved his heart and said briskly, "Since that's the case, then I'll hang up, and I'll go back on time!"
Mother Song saw her daughter hang up the phone, so she approached and asked, "How is the relationship between this person and you? Why did you hang up? Don't talk for a while?"
Song Ru knew that her mother was thinking too much, so she explained Jiang Yizhou straightforwardly, "This is my boss, eighteen years old, self-made, the company is worth tens of millions!" and then dragged his slippers back to his room.
Mother Song muttered, "It's a pity, the conditions are really good, it's just a little smaller, if the age gap is four or five years smaller, it's still acceptable, it's a pity......"
